Amazing hotel.
Amazing hotel. Perfect location. Wonderful breakfast. Staff is above par! Housekeeping were ninjas, in and out quickly tidying and restocking towels etc while we were down for breakfast.
Only one thing I would have expected, was a magnified makeup mirror in the bathrooms.
Thank you for the memorable stay.
